How to Make Enchiladas With Pumpkin Sauce

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 2 cups cooked chicken, 1/2 cup chopped green onions, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Set aside.
  3. In a blender, combine 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree, 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 jalapeño pepper (seeded and minced), 1 tablespoon chili powder, 2 1/2 cups water, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Blend until completely smooth.
  4. Pour 1 cup of pumpkin sauce into the bottom of an 8x8 inch baking dish.
  5. Lay 8 corn tortillas on a clean work surface.
  6. Divide the chicken mixture evenly among the tortillas, placing it on one half of each tortilla.
  7. Roll up each tortilla tightly, tucking in the filling and placing seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
  8. Pour the remaining pumpkin sauce over the enchiladas. Sprinkle generously with 1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend (Monterey Jack, Cheddar, etc.) and 1/2 cup shredded pepper jack cheese.
  9. Place the baking dish on a baking sheet (to catch any spills). Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is golden brown and bubbly.
  10. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with your favorite toppings, such as salsa and sour cream.
